Depending on how much heat (if any) was used to dry them, the seeds are
likely viable.

Be aware of a couple of things if you're going to save seeds, though:
Peppers can and do cross-pollinate, more likely within 10 or so meters.
If you do get a cross, the "hot" gene is dominant. More than one seed
saver has been surprised by an unexpectedly lively bell pepper!
Not everybody would consider that a bad thing...
